Placing smaller images in the content region This is how you include an image that is not the standard 500px wide in the content region and get the correct spacing of 20px around it (you no longer have to use image properties): 1. Place the cursor where you would like the image to go. Note: Remember that if you add an image that is not 500px wide it should not be more than 200px wide. This allows enough space for the text around it. 2. Click the Insert Image button or select the insert image option on the Insert drop-down menu. 3. Find your image and click Select. 8

Select img (img- right) if you would like it to appear on the right side of the content region or img (img- left) if you would like it to appear on the left side of the content region. Note: This is not necessary for images that are 500px wide as they are the full width of the content region and text will not wrap around it. 6. This step will automatically include 20px to the three sides of the image that border text. The fourth side will not have extra spacing and will align with the text. Note: In most cases you will want to select right to balance the left sidebar. Remember not to clutter a page with too many photos. Usually, if you have a photo in the content region you will not need one in the white sidebar use a licence plate or quote instead. All images should be properly sized and styled - with grey line - before being checked in to the CMS. Do not resize images once they are on the page.
